NR539 Population Health II: Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation

Week 1 Discussion

Writing a Population Diagnosis

Based upon the concepts learned during Week 1 and your work completed in NR 538, respond to the following:

Identify at least two population needs and two population problems based on your population or community assessment data and analysis completed in NR 538.

Your selection of a population or community diagnosis establishes the priority focus to move forward with the lessons in this course as well as for your Population Health Practicum (CGE- Concluding Graduate Experience) and Project. After analyzing and synthesizing your population or community assessment data from NR 538, formulate a population diagnosis. Use the Community-As-Partner format to write your diagnosis. (See Ervin & Kulbok (2018) - Chapter 8 or Anderson & McFarlane (2019) - Chapter 12 for the structure and formatting of diagnoses using the Community-As-Partner format.)

Why did you choose this as a priority health risk or disparity for your population?

Why is it important to develop a population or community diagnosis?
